Acrobat 7 open file locations issue

Using Adobe Acrobat 7.  When trying to open the file from a drive the message,  "There was an error opening this document. Path does not exist." appears.  I can open it fine from the C:. None of the other drives show under File/Open.  Using Windows 7 (I know this causes compatibility issues).  Any idea why the locations won't show?

Are there any characters outside the normal English character set in any of the directory names on the drive (e.g. accented letters)?

  • Windows 7 ultimate task manager can not open file location

    hi, I just re-installed the Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop several weeks ago, everything goes well until I find this error. When I open Task Manger and right click one process, then an error occurs when I click "Open File Location". It shows as
    "taskmgr.exe
    This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
    There is no any information in the windows event log about this error and I try to search online but without any solution. Could anyone help me figure this out? TIA!

    Hi,
    Since it prompts that it is related with file association, you can try fixing it.

  • Open file located in the HTMLResources with adobeDPS.dialogService.open()

    Is it possible to open file located in the HTMLResources with adobeDPS.dialogService.open()?
    Method adobeDPS.dialogService.open('http://www.google.com/') - works well, but it not support relative URLs
    I can make button in InDesign layout with url "HTMLResources/faq.html",
    but how to make HTML-button in web-overlay that opens file from HTMLResources in slideup webview?
    Thanks

    Hi, Why do you need to use HTMLResources?
    You can try use all HTML files (faq.html too) in web content.
    Do you want a lightbox effect, than your webcontent frame need to be the same size of page
    I believe that the results is quite similar.

  • "Open file location" option from the search window replaces the search window to open the file location

    After searching for  some files, when I right click on any file from the search window and click "open file location", the file location is opened in the same search window there by detroying my search. In Vista this option would open the file location in a separate window. This is really annoying if I want to open locations of several files from the search window.

    The more thorough explanation of how to do this is right-click the item then CTRL-Left Click "Open file Location". This will open it in a new window.
    I agree that Microsoft makes unnecessary changes to the operating system which cause it to behave less productively. The search is an important part of an operating system and Microsoft managed to make it the worst part.
    Bring back the XP search option. I'm very sad so see this terribly executed search is still the norm in Windows 8. 
    To put it bluntly, I don't use Windows by choice, it's my job to deal with it.

  • Acrobat XI file association issue

    OS: Win 7 x64
    problem: i cannot set acrobat as the default program to open pdf files. i have tried "open with", or in control panel set file association, but acrobat still cannot be added in the default program list. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    You have to be sure you go into the default definition part of the Open With and be sure the default check box is selected. What other product is claiming the default and is this an issue with the other program? A repair of Acrobat might resolve the issue.

  • Open files located in AS by using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

    Hi ,
    I need to open some documents in the client machience, documents are located in the AS .
    This method is working,
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<server_name>:<port>/forms/java/myFile.doc');
    but the problem is, documents should be in the ORACLE_HOME/Forms/Java or its sub path. but i want to keep the documents out side the ORACLE_HOME. Any body can help me?, i think we have to do some configurations in the formsweb.cfg or forms.cfg file.
    Also, is there any other better solution to open the documetns(PDF/DOC/XLS) in the client machine, but the files are located in the AS.
    Thanks in advance
    Rizly

    add another virtual directory to your forms.conf file referening the real directory outside your ORACLE_HOME
    forms.conf is in same loaction as formsweb.cfg
    eg
    # Virtual path for all my documents PDF/XLS/DOC
    AliasMatch ^/forms/mydocs/(..*) "F:\path_to_my_doc_dir/$1"
    you have to restart your http server and OC4J forms services after modification

  • Exporting to Media Encoder and file locating issue

    Ok, Now I've read a LOT of threads trying to find a solution to this but none of them have answered my problem exactly, so here's what I have:
    Running a New computer with a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and Adobe CS4 Master Suite
    Hardware:
    Dell Precision M6400
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU  T9900 @ 3.06 Ghz, 3.07 Ghz
    12.0 GB Ram
    Premiere ran fine for a while, but soon I've run into a problem where I try to export to the Media Encoder and I keep getting the error:
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted"  over and over
    I have deleted recently imported media one at a time to try and locate what's causing it since it wasn't doing this before, but no luck.  So I restarted the program but now the Premiere project won't open.  The task bar loads until about 2/3 in and stops there indefinitely, I've left and came back to it 2 hours later and it hadn't moved.  I back tracked and found a previous save that will open, but it still will not export, it still says "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted".  And as soon as I update anything and save a new file that one will not open either.
    I've tried recompressing each video file into a format I know works well with Premiere but still no difference. 
    This problem has plagued my workflow for a while now and I can't take it anymore.  I've had to restart clean project files to try to work around it but I lose so much progress, and the work around by rendering the premiere file through After effects hasn't worked either.  The error I get there says "Dynamic link server is busy".
    Here's what the problem is not:  It is not because I uninstalled CS3 or any other previous version, I've never had it on this computer.  It's not a plugin problem, I don't have any plugins on this install except for the default ones that Came with Adobe Master Suite for Premiere Pro. 
    Someone please help me, this is ridiculous that I have had to trouble shoot the program this much.  Both CS4 and Windows 7 have been around for over a year now and neither are in Beta Editions

    Wow, sorry, forgive me if I've seen most forums work with a lot less, and your dismissiveness led me to assume you hadn't read my post.
    All of this is new and up do date as far as Adobe and Windows updates go, that's Version 4.2.1.
    My projects for this are all in NTSC Widescreen DV 24P, the particular sequence that I render from is in that format as well, although regardless of which one I use the problem keeps occurring. 
    My renders for my recent purposes have been compressed in .h264, IPOD video Large.  The codec I'm rendering in also doesn't seem to matter, because I've tried this in .avi., .mov, .h264, .wav, etc. and all with various settings that I thought might help, but the encoder quits encoding 4 seconds in and gives me the error that it can't find the media.
    And I didn't mention the media type and what not because it seems irrelevent of what I use this problem keeps happening.  I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the project file or perhaps the media encoder or both.
    And I don't know what you mean by "disks"
    Do I have a Raid set up on my hard disk?  No, I have two 0.5 TB hard drives, Programs on one (C:\) Projects on the other (D:\). 
    What address am I saving the scratch disks to?  I use the default of "same as Project".  Have I tried Clearing it?  Yes.
    I don't think I'm getting at what you're asking.
    And I don't think I've ever used an .xlsm (which is excel?) file and I've definitely never used a Power point project (PPS?) file in my projects.  And they open in their respective programs, although I'm not sure why you asked about that.  Again I'm not sure I know what you mean.
    The Premiere Project (.prproj) file is what I'm trying to open when the progress bar stops at 2/3 the way through and forces me to terminate the process with the task manager to close it.
    It would help to mention that all my projects are animated and I use premiere to cobble them together, so no problems that relate to transferring media from a camera to the computer would apply here.  Most of the files I get out of Maya are in Default .avi or .mov files, and I also use a handful of .wav files for the dialogue and .jpgs for cards and placeholders. 
    I believe that this problem began when I updated a few of the files in my project, but I've been doing that for weeks without incident.  I've been updating them by saving over the old media file with the updated one of the same name, length, and type. 
    I don't work exclusively with Premiere, in fact it's not what I usually use, that would be Final Cut Pro.

  • Changing default open file location

    Hi all,
    In Outlook 2010, is there anyway to change the default folder that is opened by explorer when you want to open any pst files?
    I have tried the registry changes listed in other forums but this only changes the default save location. I have managed to change the default open location for Word, Excel etc but not Outlook.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Do you mean you want to change the default location when you click File > Open > Open Outlook Data File?
    We can achieve this goal by modifying the registry, I managed to do this in my environment. Please follow the steps below:
    Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. For added protection,
    back up the registry before you modify it.
    Locate the registry path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook
    Add the ForcePSTPath registry value:
    Value name: ForcePSTPath
    Value type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
    Value: path to your storage folder
    Restart your Outlook to check the result.

  • Adobe Acrobat License file location?

    Hey,
    This might sound wierd but bare with me.
    Background:
    I installed latest version of Acrobat last night as I need a urgent size reduction of a pdf file (color sync utility did not reduce enough while maintaining good quality...). I was running it as Trial and I would like to remove it from my mac (running Meverick) now. However, I wonder where does the software save its license file on Mac?
    Here is the reason:
    Lets say I decide to give it a serious trial of acrobat 6-month down the road before I pay adobe and I install the acrobat. Will the software check my harddrive to see if there is any license file? If so, it will be shown as trial expired and it will force me to buy before even to try...
    Hope this make sense. 

    Depending on the size of the photo and what size you are trying to make it.
    If you are making the raw image smaller you won't loose any quality.
    If you are trying to make the raw image larger is when you loose quality.
    Normally you click on the image and then go to one of the corners and simply click and move the arrow toward the center of the image to make it smaller. Or move it away from the center to make it larger.
    Next you go up to the menu bar at the top and choose FILE- SAVE AS and you click on the drop down and choose the format you want your image to be.
    This sounds very complicated but it really isn't once you have done it.
    It is true that Adobe Software in my mind is a little eaasier to work with but it's because I am more familiar with that software.

  • Can Acrobat open files in multi-tags rather than multi-windows?

    How to configure this?

    You cannot in Acrobat 9. For more info, see: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html

  • Can't open Acrobat pdf files in document library - SBS 2011

    I've uploaded some Acrobat PDF files to a document library in the companyweb (SharePoint 2010 Foundation website) on SBS 2011. But if I click on one of them in the standard view, acrobat opens and displays a message “The URL you have provided could not be
    reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable.” I'm using Acrobat Reader XI 11.0.2 and Internet Explorer 10.
    I have tried a few suggested solutions, eg to edit the docicon.xml file to include <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>, check that the WebClient service is running, and
    Use Remote Interfaces permission is set on the SharePoint site. But no luck.
    I don't know if this is a problem with SBS 2011, or Acrobat, or Internet Explorer. Interestingly the pdf opens OK in Chrome. It looks like it is trying to edit the document instead of open it in the acrobat reader.
    Anyone know of a solution?

    I have found one possible solution. In my case the site was brought into Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as a migrated site from a previous SBS installation. 
    The site was imported as http://servername and the IIS site had a host header with companyweb so that users could browse to it, and all references to the site were as http://companyweb
    All my attempts to open the PDFs were using the http://companyweb URL.
    I was researching the issue and had gone through everything, but one thing got me thinking when some sites suggested that I look at the permissive or strict browser file open settings. I looked at the web application and it was set to http://servername in
    the Central Administration site. I thought hmm let's try opening the Adobe PDF docs with that URL instead, and it worked!
    So I changed the web application URL to http://companyweb and tried again and hey presto it's now working.
    I really hope this helps someone, it took me a good couple of hours of my day researching to find the solution here.
    Some extra info: we are using Adobe Reader 11.0.6 with IE11. Testing with Firefox worked, but that opens the document by downloading it locally and then using Adobe Reader. fix The above actually resolves the problem, it's nothing to do with permissive or strict
    file open settings, I set the SP site back to strict and PDFs still open fine. 

  • Opening files through network location is not working in Office 2013

    Dear Colleagues!
    We have faced the following problem. On our Windows 7 Professional computers were installed Office 2013 Standard. softwares.  As before we have defined network locations.  After the step into the folder through the dfined network location
    the Word and Excel do not open the files and the base Office 2013 screen appears with the icons. If we define a shortcut onto the desktop of the computer the same way and step into this folder through the mentioned shortcut the Word and Excel 2013 opens
    the files. For Exemple a pdf file opens in Acrobat Reader through the dfined network location and through the mentioned shorcut as well. It would be important to solve the file handling through network locations too.
    Thanks in advance your answers.
    Best regards
    LAMBDA61 László

    Hi,
    As per the description, I understand that your Office 2013 cannot open files through a network share directly.
    I would like to know that how many clients/users are affected by this in your environment. It could be some specific user account settings, that the Office applications are being affected by.
    I'd first suggest you try with a new Windows user profile, then verify result.

  • Mail cannot open hyperlink of file located in windows server 2003

    My macbook air has access to shared directory located in a windows server 2003 machine via smb mount. However, when I get an email containing a hyperlink of a file located in the shared directory, mail cannot open the link. Any ideas?

    You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

  • Error: "We're having a problem opening this location on file explorer. Add this website to your trusted sites list and try again"

    Hello,
    When i try to open document library from SharePoint Production portal then it throws the specified error. However, when i open document library from SharePoint Development portal then it opens it in file explorer quite easily.
    Production portal is on https whereas development portal is on http. Also, UAG has been configured on production portal.
    Any idea where it's getting stuck up? Surely, this is not a browser issue on Windows 7 as it's opening the development portal's document library on the same machine.
    I've also done following things:
    - Configured Desktop Experience on production environment
    - Installed the hotfix for Windows 7
    Regards,
    Sohaib
    Sohaib Khan

    Hello Sohaib.
    Here is the list of causes defined here.Hope it helps you
    The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
    Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
    Resolution: Check and ensure,  that the “Managed Paths” are not changed in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
    this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
    If for any reason this is not the case in your environment, you may try the following:
    - Apply (if not already) the following Hotfix to one of those clients:
    Error when you open a SharePoint Document Library in Windows Explorer or map a network drive to the library after you install Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960
    Then, try to delete the cache of the IE browser before reproducing the issue. Check the result..
    - Try to temporarily disable the Antivirus and test again.
    - Check if you have installed the Desktop Experience feature on the SPS13 server.
    - Check if you face this behavior with all users, Or only with some specific ones, Or with all different client OSes.. 
    Otherwise you will need to collect the logs to further analyze...

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 is very slow to open files

    Greetings:
    I have Acrobat 9.3.4 installed on a Dell Latitude D630 with a 2.4 GHz T7700 Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM. I re-installed Windows XP SP3 about a month ago due to some USB issues. The motherboard was replaced prior to that to try to resolve the USB issues, but the culprit turned out to be corrupted Windows USB drivers. There were other issues with IE which I was unable to resolve without an O/S re-install, so I went ahead and re-installed XP.
    The laptop has been running great for the last four weeks and I've had Acrobat 9 installed on the laptop since then, too. It was functioning fine until yesterday. While opening a PDF file on my local hard drive, I saw no disk or CPU activity or any sign that Acrobat was even starting. I opened up Windows Task Manager and saw that Acrobat had started but was "not responding". About 30 seconds after I attempted to  start Acrobat, the file finally opened and browsing performance in the file was fine.
    I have repaired my Acrobat installation (essentially a 10 minute re-install) and that did nothing to improve the startup speed. I have not knowingly changed any Acrobat settings in the last four weeks. I appreciate any suggestions you may have which may improve this situation. Thanks!

    First let me disclose that I am not an expert nor even much less. However I used to have this slow as a turtle opening of FF until I got rid of my antivirus software which at the time was Avast. I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials and have had no problems since. FF loads in 3 to 4 seconds!
